Re: InterNational Human rights declaration & double standards (Re: محمد فرح)

Stages of International Declaration Resources and Objectives Director of Khartoum International Centre for Human Rights Dr. Ahmed Al-Mufti i classified the fifth stages of the Human Rights and the resources as follow: • *The first stage was philosophical one based on the hypothesis and the thoughts of philosophers and their visions of an imaginary world based on ideals values free of evils. • * The second stage coincided with the coming of Christianity and as it was known that all religions propagate for human rights and the human right draw its authority from the religions which considerthese rights as sacred ones . Unfortunately, the religious men exploited the religion at that time for political purposes ,the matter that caused the uprising and revolutions in France and in Russia calling for right and justice. • *The third stage was characterizes by the new slogans which derived the right from the imaginary philosophies of the first stage which called for ( equal rights and democracy) and of the religious values of the second stage as well. As these slogans were bearing religious principles, they succeeded in changing the life in Europe and the European revolutions adopted most of these principles as fraternity , justice and equality. • * The fourth stage During this stage it was essential to legalize these slogans as rights and to be included in the constitutions’ and laws but the matter was too difficult to apply and only a partial legalization was achieved( the right of work and the rights of minorities) before the foundation of the League of Nations . The target of this partial legalization was associated with political targets aiming to create stability inside the states and to protect the minorities after the collapse of the colonization in some states. • *The fifth stage witnessed the comprehensive legalization of the human rights in 1945 as the date of the birth of new international order , the international Declaration of Human Rights and this is so clear in the preamble of the United Nations which states to save generations from the scourges of war, to respect human rights and not to use force_
The absent Vision Dr. Mufti explained that when the allies achieved the triumph in the Second World War, and drafted the International Declaration of the Human Rights in 1948,most of the Arab and Islamic world were directly under the British and the French Colonization or under trusteeship Therefore, their religious beliefs and views were not taken into consideration as they belong to the third world .Consequently, the Islamic and Arab vision was not contained in the International Declaration of Human Rights. When Scrutinizing the 30 articles of the International Declaration of Human Rights, we will apparently notice the absence of the religious spirit and the comprehensive values which all religions and the Islamic religion in particular call for . It is obvious that the West is planning to deepen and enhance the absolute materialistic values and seek to adopt them as the ideal principles and model to be adopted and followed.Also, they intend to ignore the three quarter of the world population as they belong to the African, Arab and Islamic world Most of the issues and the accusations against the Islamic and Arab world, concentrate on violations of human rights in these states but through an unbalanced double standard. Organizations concerned with rights say that situations of human rights are bad in the Islamic and Arab region although these Organizations are witnessing the violations of human rights in Afghanistan, Somali, Palestine, Shish an , Lebanon, and in Iraq (Abu Ghuraib) Prison which represent an apparent violation of all human values and in Guantanamo Prison , which is shame in the face of the West civilization which claims protection and preservation of human rights and at the same time ignore the major negative actions they commit and focus on the minor violations in the Islamic and Arab world and describe them as major sins. Islam ISLAM : The New vision for the ideal system of human rights Dr. Ahmed Al-mufti sees that the relation between the Interrnational Declaration of Human Rights and religions are similar in general with regard to the essence and the principles of respecting and preserving human rights which the Declaration calls for , religions have called for observing these rights before many centuries. “ Not only that but the rights the religions call for are not confined only in the thirty ones contained in the International Declaration of Human Rights but they are more comprehensive “ Al-mufti said. He explained that the Islamic religion contains all the principles of this system and adds more and more rights, calling for an alliance among civilizations rather than conflicts as seen now in the media. He pointed out that in Islam there is religious and legal commitment and this would have positive effect on the international community , because in Islam if you are not abide by the orders, AllAH watches you but in man- made law you are watched by no body. Moreover, rights in Islam include other rights not included in the International Declaration as the right of education, neighbourhood ,health , adoption and the old. Islam enacted the following rights 1- Parents right 2- Right for neighborhood 3- Right of Muslim towards a Muslim 4- Right of the employee 5- Right of the ruler over his subordinates 6- Right of the spouse 7- Nation right 8- Domestic animals right a 9- Right of Children in Education 10- Rights of Non-Muslims (Jewish, Christians and other non- religious groups)
